She had a \u201cdilemma\u201d <\/a>after being invited to Andy and Sarah\u2019s last Christmas<\/a> at the Windsor mansion before being turfed out \u2014 and also to join the King and rest of the royals at Sandringham.<\/p>\n

But Bea, 37, has turned down both to \u201cavoid embarrassment\u201d and is going skiing<\/a> with husband Edo Mapelli Mozzi and friends instead, The Sun can reveal.<\/p>\n

Younger sister Princess Eugenie<\/a>, 35, is in a similar quandary and it is not known where she will go for the festive period, although she is expected to spend it with hubby Jack Brooksbank<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An insider said: \u201cWith everything that\u2019s gone, on he\u2019s very much like the Grinch. It\u2019s clear this year that festive cheer is in short supply.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Sun can reveal it will be the first time since he moved in 20 years ago that the King\u2019s brother has failed to put up decorations outside Royal Lodge.<\/a><\/p>\n

Two wreaths which adorned the gates to his home last year have not been put up this festive period.<\/p>\n

She didn\u2019t want it to look like they were snubbing anyone<\/p>\n

\t\t<\/p>\n

And a Christmas tree which \u00adusually greeted guests on the roof has not been installed either, sources have said.<\/p>\n

Beatrice<\/a> has told friends she was \u201ctormented\u201d by the \u201ctug\u201d between invitations to be with the royals at Sandringham<\/a> or her exiled parents at Royal Lodge.<\/p>\n

One friend said: \u201cBeatrice doesn\u2019t want to cause any embarrassment and was torn between loyalty to the King and her parents.<\/p>\n

\t\t<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is why with Eugenie they went to Buckingham Palace<\/a> for the pre-Christmas family lunch.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe appreciates the way that the King and William<\/a> have looked after her during everything that has been happening with Andy and Sarah.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe didn\u2019t want it to look like they were snubbing anyone so it was easier to go off with friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year will be the ex-Yorks\u2019 final Christmas at Royal Lodge after handing back their lease in October when the King stripped their titles amid the worsening Epstein crisis.<\/p>\n

They were given a year to move out and it is understood that the logistics of moving mean it could take several more months.<\/p>\n

The King will fund Andy\u2019s new life including providing a home on his Sandringham estate.<\/p>\n

Surrounded by bog<\/h2>\n

It is understood a sprawling but ramshackle collection of buildings called Marsh Farm<\/a>, surrounded by a bog, has been earmarked.<\/p>\n

But it needs extensive renovation before Andy can move in.<\/p>\n

His former wife Sarah<\/a>, 66, who has been living with him at Royal Lodge, is said to be looking for private accommodation of her own elsewhere.<\/p>\n

While Andy and Sarah have lost their titles, Bea and Eugenie remain princesses and Charles is understood to be fond of both nieces.<\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace declined to comment.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
